Question 3
The fear of a stronger US and annexation calls made British North American colonies (Canada's predecessors) realize unity was key for defense. The 1860s saw US expansion talk, so colonies like Canada West, Canada East, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick united (1867 Confederation) to form a stronger Canada, reducing US annexation risk.
In 1867, William Seward, US Secretary of State, purchased Alaska from Russia. This was part of his territorial expansion efforts post - Civil War.
Seward also sought to acquire the Danish West Indies (now US Virgin Islands). He aimed for more US territorial growth, though the Danish West Indies purchase was finalized later (1917), but his attempts included this and other Pacific/Caribbean territories.
